Wondering Poem by Nakesha Banks

There was never a word uttered
never a sentence spoken
Never a more painful hurt
as when my heart was broken
Never a reason why
Never the truth, always a lie
It was never how I thought it would be
It was always sorrow and never serenity
Never having peace
Never a soul that could smile
only a weeping heart and my mind in denial
so now I can't take it
this chain I gotta break it
If this is love I don't want it anymore
I'd rather be alone, without love
than to be in love
and wonder what I'm there for.
